In Too Deep_ Husband Material & the Sheikh's Bargained Bride - Brenda Jackson [0]
THE WAGGING TONGUE
Summer Edition
All the news you have to know!
You know it’s summer in the Hamptons when the powerful and privileged let down their hair. And nowhere are the scandals flowing more freely than out at Seven Oaks Farm, playground of the Bridgehampton Polo Club.
We’ve all seen the beautiful movie star Carmen Akins cheering at the polo matches. Seems it didn’t take her long to get over her divorce from her infamous director/producer husband. But it may be taking him a while to deal with their separation. We doubt he traveled all the way from L.A. just to view some swinging mallets. Alert the paparazzi that a silver-screen reunion may be taking place!
As far as unions go, haven’t we all wondered if that sexy sheikh and his bashful bride are truly in a love match? Adham does find the best polo ponies for his clients, but has he forsaken his wife for his job? Well, you’ll just have to stay for the summer to see what’s in store for these couples.

OLIVIA GATES
has always pursued creative passions—painting, singing and many handicrafts. She still does, but only one of her passions grew gratifying enough, consuming enough, to become an ongoing career. Writing.
She is most fulfilled when she is creating worlds and conflicts for her characters then exploring and untangling them bit by bit, sharing her protagonists’ every heart-wrenching heartache and hope, their every heart-pounding doubt and trial, until she leads them to an indisputably earned and gloriously satisfying happy ending.
When she’s not writing, she is a doctor, a wife to her own alpha male and a mother to one brilliant girl and one demanding Angora cat. Visit Olivia at www.oliviagates.com.
